Common Real Estate Tax Questions We Help With
How is rental income taxed in Canada?
Rental income is added to your other income and taxed at your marginal rate, but you can deduct expenses like mortgage interest, property tax, repairs, insurance, and capital cost allowance (CCA) to reduce what you owe.
How can I reduce capital gains tax when selling property?
Strategies include the principal residence exemption, proper timing of the sale, claiming all eligible costs, and correctly classifying the gain. We plan this with you before you sell.

The CRA receives information from many sources and increasingly tracks rental and short-term rental income. Reporting correctly, and coming forward if you’re behind, protects you from penalties.

FAQs — Real Estate Tax Services
Is rental income taxable in Canada?
Yes. Rental income is taxable and added to your other income at your marginal rate. However, you can deduct expenses like mortgage interest, property tax, insurance, repairs, and capital cost allowance (CCA) to reduce the tax you owe. We make sure you claim every eligible deduction.
Can I claim CCA (depreciation) on my rental property?
Yes. Capital cost allowance lets you deduct a portion of your property’s building value each year, reducing your rental income tax. It needs to be planned carefully, since it can affect capital gains when you sell. We handle this strategically for you.
How can I reduce capital gains tax when selling a property?
Strategies include the principal residence exemption, timing the sale, claiming all eligible costs and improvements, and correctly classifying the gain as capital versus business income. We plan this with you before you sell to legally minimize the tax.
How does the CRA know about my rental income?
The CRA tracks rental and short-term rental income through information sharing, platform reporting, and other sources. If you haven’t reported rental income, we help you come into compliance correctly before the CRA raises questions.
Do I need to incorporate my real estate investments?
It depends on your portfolio size, income, and goals. Incorporation can offer tax advantages for larger portfolios but isn’t right for everyone. We assess your situation and advise whether incorporating your real estate holdings makes sense.
